Alert Alert Alert

The administration of  His Obamaness  is considering warning Americans to be vigilant when traveling in Europe.

Wonder if it is to be paired with a warning to be vigilant in Washington, D.C., or when visiting the President's homies down around 68th and Halstead?

And on the subject of danger in the streets, why are the media blacking out the Washington and Chicago blood baths in the wake of Heller and McDonald? Could it be that old Vast Right Wing Conspiracy again?

Mexican bizarre

You can't make this stuff up. Not even Fox News can make it up.

Mexican border town mayors are complaining because the United States returns their Mexican-citizen criminals to Mexico.  The mayors think it best for the U.S. to keep the thugs on the U.S. side where Norteamericanos can pay for their keep. Failing that, we should at least fly them to their Mexican home towns.

Ciudad Juarez Mayor Jose Reyes blamed U.S. deportation policy for contributing to his city's violence, saying that of the 80,000 people deported to Juarez in the past three years, 28,000 had U.S. criminal records -- including 7,000 convicted rapists and 2,000 convicted murderers.


Funny, I've been reading for years that illegal immigrants are gentle souls, moving here only to satisfy our desire for cheap lettuce.

Never mind the trouble a guy has of picturing U.S.authorities catching, trying, and convicting an illegal of murder, then punishing him with a  bus ticket to Juarez.

Whatever optimism I still have about the human race was depleted when I flipped on the electric teevee for a news check. HLN was reporting that a white woman moved into a black neighborhood three months ago and, one month a go, hung up a confederate flag. The neighbors are petitioning the city council -- I didn't catch where -- to make her take it down.

Wrong. She has a perfect right to fly the flag. On the other hand, I would not actively object to a new ordinance making her wear a temporary tattoo on her forehead.


"I am a tasteless old bitch, and not smart."


Six months sounds about right.

California Open Carry

The City of San Diego has confessed that its cops didn't know or didn't care what they were doing  a couple of years ago when they harassed and arrested Samuel Wolanyk for openly carrying an unloaded handgun. That is legal in California, but several street officers, their sergeant, and the booking officer didn't know it.

The bad and wholly unnecessary bust case was settled for $35,000 and a letter from the cops affirmatively stating that Wolanyk was an innocent citizen, wrongly arrested,

The city got off too cheap, if you ask me.
